With the new Windows, you can do more. You have more entertainment, more games, more ways to get stuff done, more ways to search, browse, and connect with the people you care about. You can entertain with Xbox, connect with Skype, work with the full power of Office, and search for something while browsing the web or finding your next favorite app in the Windows Store. And you can make Windows uniquely yours by personalizing your Start screen with Live Tiles, your own photos and the people, apps and sites that matter most.

Windows 8.1 brings together everything you do - from mobile apps for your business, to Office productivity work, to searching and browsing, to accessing all your data from anywhere.

Your Windows experience works across all your devices - from the best business tablet, to a thin and light notebook, to your high-performance workstation or all-in-one, whether you are at home, in or around the office, or working on the road.

And Windows takes care of the essentials - letting you manage personal devices in your organization, utilize your investments in your enterprise infrastructure, and enhancing the security of your environment.
